THE RUNABOUT IS VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL TO THE BUGGY,EXCEPT THAT THE FORMER NEVER HAS A TOP. THE RUNABOUT WAS THE MOST POPULAR & NUMEROUS VEHICLE IN AMERICA, COMBINING SYMMETRY, BALANCE, & PROPORTION WITH SERVICE & DURABILITY, & WAS AVAILABLE IN A RANGE OF PRICES (2).

Function

THE RUNABOUT WAS A POPULAR, OPEN, OWNER DRIVEN VEHICLE WITH A SINGLE SEAT FOR 2 PASSENGERS, & USUALLY A BOX-LIKE BODY WITH STORAGE SPACE FOR PARCELS (2).

Technical

THISVEHICLE IS UNUSUAL IN THAT IT HAS CYLINDRICAL TORSION BAR SPRINGS RATHER THAN ELLIPTICAL. IT ALSO HAS A QUICK DETACH ON THE SHAFTS TO FACILITATE REMOVAL IN ORDER TO SAVE STORAGE SPACE, AND A ROLLER TYPE RUB BAR ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BOX TO PREVENT THE WHEELS FROM CATCHING UNDER THEBOX.
